MACHINE FOR MAKING COMBINED PAPER AND FIBER TWINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 439,225, dated'october 28, 1890.

Applieation filed September 18, 1889. Serial No. 324,331. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FARMER R. WILLIAMS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Beloit, in the county of Rock and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Making Combined Paper and Fiber Twine, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

The present machine is intended more particularly for the manufacture of twine-such as represented in my application for Letters Patent of the United States filed on the 24th day of August, 1889, Serial No. 321,838, and on the 4th day of September, 1889, Serial No. 322,974-in which a strand of paperis wound upon a central cord or sliver of fibrous material.

The operation carried out by the present machine, the method, and the resulting twine are none of them claimed as any part of the present invention.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of the principal parts of my improved machine. Fig. 2 illustrates the conical former as viewed from its larger end. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the same as seen from the smaller end, the material being operated upon being also shown in cross-section. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the same.

In'carrying my invention into effect I combine with an ordinary spinning-machinesuch as is ordinarily employed for the production of twine-a mechanism by which a strip of paper may be closed around the twine in the course of its manufacture, so that the twine proper and its paper envelope may be twisted together.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a ta- 4,0 pered tube or guide of spiral or snail-shell form in cross-section fixed on a support in advance of an ordinary rotary spinning-head D, having, as usual, a tubular journal into which the twine is drawn and by which it is twisted.

0 represents the sliver or twine to be further twisted,which is passed centrally through the conical guide and thence to the spinning or twisting mechanism.

B is a long strip of paper passed through the conical guide, by which it is folded or wrapped around the twine advancing toward the twister, so that the twister serves to twist the twine and its paper envelope tightly togetherinto a composite twine.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1. The combination of the spinning apparatus with the coil-former adapted to coil a strip of paper which is passed therethrough into a tube around a central filling also drawn through the former, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the spinning apparatus and the conical tube of spiral form in cross-section, substantially as described.

3. The combination of the rotary spinning mechanism with means, substantially as described, for enveloping a cord or filling with FARMER R. \VILLIAMS.
